Celtic’s January recruitment drive is in full flow as Brendan Rodgers looks to strengthen his grip on the Scottish Premiership title.

Defeat in the Old Firm derby gave rivals Rangers hope in the title race – the Gers are now level on points with their rivals heading into the window fixtures.

The Frenchman is also terrific on the ball, completing 88% of his passes this season meaning he is perfect for Rodgers’ system at Parkhead (WhoScored).

Sasso reads the game expertly, allowing him to make an impressive 2.8 interceptions per game this season.

After losing Moussa Dembele on deadline day in August, Celtic have a large budget at their disposal and have wasted no time in bolstering their ranks.

With his contract set to expire in the summer, this move should be a no brainer for the former Liverpool boss.

Rodgers has already added Timothy Weah, Oliver Burke and Vakoun Issouf Bayo to his squad and fans must be desperate for further arrivals. For more news relating to Liverpool, visit our sister site LFC Live.
